August 9, 2017Amber Dowling

Firefighter JV works four jobs in order to provide for his family, and when he isn't working he's finding ways to give back to the community. Well that, and stressing over how to make the living room safer for his growing, ever-exploring kids. So his wife Sara decided it was time to take at least one worry off her husband's plate by calling in Cheryl Torrenueva, Roger Morin and the Reno Set Go team for a little help. Here's how they surprised JV with a colourful redesign that had everyone feeling a little more safe and sound.

Cheryl sourced these two old doors and painted them a brilliant green, while Roger crafted this custom bench to go with it. The result is an immediate punch of colour and design when these homeowners come home, giving them a stylish space to tuck away shoes and coats.

We love the look of these wrought iron hooks that Cheryl sourced and had installed on the doors to give them that extra bit of functionality. It's small additions like this that add huge value to a design.

Rather than stop the arms of this bench at the actual stool height, Roger extended them so that the finished look feels even more like a cohesive, finished piece. It reminds us of a giant chair or a throne, but a heck of a lot more comfortable and stylish.

A brilliant, black-and-white custom cushion with a fun design helps to add even more modernity to the space while creating a cozy space for the family to sit when putting on shoes or getting organized after a long day. A couple of throw pillows complete the look.

Last but not least, each family member received a customized basket and cubby space to store all of their things, adding pretty organization to the overall look. With an area this gorgeous, you can't help but want to be a little more organized.

This simple but pretty light fixture in the front hall just helps to complete the overall look thanks to its modern edges and simple steel finishes.

Safety was the name of the game in this living room, and Cheryl obliged... all while making it completely fabulous of course. New furniture pops against the pretty jewel tones of the wall, while a neutral area rug in a simple design adds coziness and a safer space for the kids to play on.

The button-back design of this couch adds an instant modern touch, especially when paired with the clear, curved coffee table and aforementioned jewel-toned walls. Now this is how you add a statement piece to a room.

Helping to bring all of the colours together and drawing the eye are throw pillows in yet another brilliant orange-pink hue. The feminine florals and tufts help to tone down the more masculine features of the room, all while adding instant comfort and depth to the overall design.

Meanwhile Cheryl also tied the colours together with these green, floral drapes, which add a bit of richness to the green on the wall and immediately draw the eye thanks to the busy pattern.

This mural was a hidden gem that Sara unearthed while she and Cheryl were shopping for the room, and the colours play perfectly off the paint and furniture. The result is a real statement wall with tons of character that makes you feel right at home in the space.

In this corner Cheryl kept things a little more neutral with the addition of a stained wood chair and some more patterned cushions. Here the rich blues also play off the room's bold colours, adding yet another statement to the space.

The mounted flatscreen is a nice touch but we love the built-in storage potential of the media unit itself. The floating style means that extra storage via baskets can also be added below, and that toys can be neatly tucked away when not in use.

You can't accuse this space of having a lack of colour, that's for sure. The brilliant red of this accent chair also adds character to the space, especially when paired with the monochrome throw rug and yet another interesting throw pillow.

Last but not least, Roger installed this custom unit which is the perfect mix of functionality and design. The pretty arches on the shelves adds lots of interesting nooks to the space, while below there are even more storage options for toys and any extra textiles the homeowners may have. Safe, pretty, and space for the whole family... we'd say Cheryl and Roger hit the mark with this one.
